    yes. more so with the older phones, but your phone does contain magnets.

    The rear speaker on my phone will vibrate one of my magnets and a magnetic ring. The rear speaker would be used for speakerphone or music so it's beefier than the one used for regular phone calls.

    A static permanent magnet will vibrate your implant?

    I get no sensation, unless I'm waving the magnet over my finger.


    Edit..

    And, it's just that pulling sensation, not a vibration.

    Vibration is from rapidly varying magnetic flux, not from static sources.
    A speaker is a source of flux, as well as motors.
